"Hey? It's not here?""Aunt Paula, why are you asking about that jade bracelet?" Gale asked.That belonged to her mother. It had nothing to do with Paula, right?Paula replied angrily, "I like it and I want it! That jade is transparent. The previous owners took good care of it, and wearing it can enjoy blessings and prevent disasters... Forget it, it's no use telling you."Gale suddenly smiled and said, "I know where the jade bracelet is." "Where?"Gale said, "Shawn gave it to a... female internet celebrity. She is showing it off to everyone."Paula jumped when she heard it. "What? A random woman outside?""Yeah, Shawn has always been generous to outsiders." Gale sighed deliberately. "Aunt Paula, you know how generous men are to outsiders, not to mention a rich man like Shawn, who is handsome.""He gave it to a random woman and not to his own stepmother!"Gale said, "Aunt Paula, you are an elder, and you want a jade bracelet... go and get it. How dare a woman like her dar

"This is the first collection from Lovito, and the target consumer group is urban young female white-collar workers. I went with a youthful design so that we can penetrate the market for women aged 20-30…"People always exude confidence in the field they are best at.Throughout the meeting, Gale shone and really showed her strong working ability."Okay!" Joe was the first to applaud.The others also applauded.Only Shawn looked at her indifferently."Tomorrow, you can start the production. Mr. Wood, do you have any other opinion?" Joe said.The general manager next to him suddenly said, "Mr. Wood, you just got married, and the designer is so talented... Why don't you let her design a wedding ring for Mrs. Wood?"Shawn's expression suddenly changed.Gale was also stunned.Design her own wedding ring? This...The general manager proposed, "This way, Mrs. Wood's wedding ring can be used as a marketing gimmick. It can be promoted everywhere to enhance the popularity of our br

However, she really did not want to make Susan's wedding ring."Mr. Wood, the wedding ring is sacred, it represents marriage and loyalty, and it symbolizes love. It can't be decided casually, and it also shouldn't be commercialized," Gale argued.Shawn raised his eyebrows and warned, "Are you educating me?""I...."At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.Shawn took out his phone and answered, "Hello.""Mr. Wood, help, come and save me!" Susan's sharp voice came from the receiver. "There's a crazy woman here, she... she's snatching my stuff... ..Ah! Go away!"Shawn frowned deeply and asked, "Who?""I don't know her, she...she said she was your mother! Ah! It's mine!"Shawn walked out with long strides.Fiona looked puzzled and said, "Why did Mrs. Paula get into trouble with Susan?"Next to her, Gale lowered her head and said nothing.Well, a good show was about to start.Let the wicked fight the wicked!Shawn's voice drifted from afar, "Gale, keep up!"Well, it looked li

Paula was dumbfounded. "What?""Fake?" Gale was also shocked.Obviously... Susan wore it to mock her. What happened?Susan gritted her teeth and said, "It's fake, I... I bought it to wear as a trinket!"She just wanted to show off in front of Gale. Who knew she would provoke Paula!"Where is the real thing?" Paula asked immediately, "Shawn, did you give it to your other mistresses!"Gale was also curious.Shawn's face sank. "It has always been with me. How did you find Susan?"Paula pointed at Gale and said, "She told me! She said that you gave it to a woman outside and also gave me the address."When Susan heard this, she screamed, "Okay, so you're the one playing tricks on me! You hurt me on purpose!"Gale explained calmly, "You said that Shawn gave you the jade bracelet. I'm just telling the truth. Who knew that what you're wearing is fake."She was also relieved.Fortunately, it did not fall into Susan's hands."I… I didn't say that the jade bracelet was the one that

Shawn replied in a deep voice, "I'll keep to my word."In order to get back her mother's jade bracelet, Gale resolved to give it a try.However...how could she please Shawn?He had a fiery temper, was unpredictable, and had no weaknesses.After thinking about it for a long time, Gale ran to ask Joe for help. They were classmates and best friends. They had known each other for so many years, and he must know more than her."What does Shawn like?" Joe touched his chin and replied, "He likes to lose his temper and scold people.""Mr. Winter, I am very serious about asking you for advice.""Actually, I don't know either. Shawn is very difficult to figure out. I often can't figure out what he is thinking."Gale sighed. Was that the case?Joe said again, "However, I know what Shawn wants most." "What?"Joe said, "A good quality sleep. He has insomnia. He suffered from insomnia for many years and has not been cured after eating different types of medicine. However, the perfumed

Shawn knew all about Lucas' strategy. He saw Gale as a tool to birth children and nothing more.Gale was startled and asked, "Did you agree to it?""It's ridiculous." Shawn snorted coldly and said, "You don't deserve to have my child."She breathed a long sigh of relief. She was carrying one in her stomach now. How could she be pregnant again!Gale nodded and said, "I see. I will play the role of Mrs. Wood, so Grandpa won't be suspicious."Shawn was extremely unhappy seeing her relaxed expression."Gale, are you stupid?" He approached her and pushed her against the wall. "You should want to conceive my child."She immediately shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to.""Have you ever considered that maybe for the sake of the child, I'll be nice to you? Your father in prison and mother in the hospital can also get a glimpse of your grandson?"Gale met Shawn's gaze.It sounded possible.After a few seconds, she smiled wryly and shook her head. "Impossible. If I am pregna

At this moment, she was by his side. They were alone. Gale hated him, and he completely destroyed her life.If she wanted to kill him... she could do it!Gale looked at the position of Shawn's heart. As long as she stabbed it, everything would be over.A life for a life.Gale stretched out her hand unexpectedly and pressed her palm to his heart, feeling his heartbeat. A light flashed outside the window, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.That's the security guard on patrol.Gale's sanity instantly returned. "No, don't be impulsive... I still have children, and my parents..."If Shawn died, the Wood family would never let her parents go!Gale clenched her fingertips into the flesh, pulled the quilt to cover Shawn, and got out of bed. Toleration.Impulsiveness would not do her good. The best way was to discover the truth and clear her father's name!...That was the best sleep Shawn had had for years.When he woke up, he felt refreshed, and his mood was

"Dad, tell me what should I do?""Let me think about it."Susan sat on the sofa angrily."She got pregnant in just one go. If only I were so lucky..."It's a pity that Shawn had not touched her at all, and she had no chance to conceive."Yes!" Dean clapped his hands and said, "Susan, I have an idea."He leaned over and whispered the whole plan in Susan's ear."Okay!" Susan smiled and said, "That will work!""Okay, I'll act now!"...Gale, who was at the Wood Group, suddenly sneezed several times, and she felt a chill on her body."Having a cold?" Summer came over and handed her a tissue. "Put more on. Your health is important.""It's okay. My nose is a little itchy."Gale smiled, got up, and walked away.A colleague stopped her at this moment and said, "Ms. Warm, someone is looking for you.""Me?""Yes, you go have a look."Who would come to the Wood Group to find her?Gale came to the company's door, only to see Dean holding gifts in both hands, with a smile on his

Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female

She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter

Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you

“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica

The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S

"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall

"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After

Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac

Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
